When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

Chapter 181: The Rotary Squat Treaty, the Eagle Country begins to learn Chinese!

Cargo ships were seized and maritime trade was cut off.

Merchant ships could not enter or leave.

John Bull did not panic, and focused on consumption.

In a short time, Li Jing took over all the coastal areas south of John Bull and came to the edge of Lundun.

Every time John Bull retreated, he took away all the food and polluted the water source in an attempt to cut off the food supply of the Yanhuang Army.

Zhu Ming laughed when he heard the news: "I will be short of your food and drink. Since they are moving things, let's move them too. We should bring back everything that has some value!"

After receiving the notice, Li Jing was not in a hurry and arranged for his soldiers to transport supplies every day.

Factories, railways, everything that could be used was moved back.

Even if they are not used, they are moved back and piled up.

"Hurry up and gather all the supplies together. Don't waste so many trees. Cut them all down and take them back!"

In the English Channel, the Royal Navy that came to support was stopped by the Dalong Navy led by Zhu Di, and a fierce battle immediately broke out between the two sides!
Judging from the number of warships alone, the two sides are evenly matched.

However, the Dalong Navy's weapons and equipment are superior, with more cannons, a firing rate two to three times that of the British, and the power of its shells is much stronger than that of the British.

As soon as the battle began, the Dalong Navy showed a suppressive attitude.

It can easily sink Royal Navy warships without causing much damage itself.

In half a day, the Royal Navy suffered heavy losses.

When trying to evacuate, the ship's speed was slowed down again.

Without the Royal Navy, John Bull would completely lose all his colonies and his dominant position.

In desperation, the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Navy raised the white flag and surrendered!

Li Jing looked at the city a few miles away.

It is the wheel squat that is known as the best in the world today.

Holding a list in hand.

"After entering the city, first detain the people on the list. They are all the technological elites of this era. Bring them all back to Dalong. Then don't let go of the skilled workers either. Bring all of them back with their families. If they don't know how to repay Dalong after learning something, then what's the point of learning these things!"

A month passed, and the expected water and food shortages did not occur.

John Bulls can no longer hold on.

After suffering a crushing defeat at sea, they found themselves no match for their opponents on land.

So, John Bull's war faction finally had to face reality.

They realized that continuing to persist would only bring more losses and disasters, so they changed their previous position and began to ask for peace.

Queen Victoria stood on the balcony, looking into the distance with a dazed look, a hint of dullness in her eyes.

She recalled the glorious years when she had just ascended the throne, when the British Empire was at its peak and extremely glorious.

However, everything changed since the war was declared on the dragon.

The sea route was blocked, Yinglan lost half of its territory, and even Lundun became Li Jing's military command center.

Ireland also lost a third of its land, and Sugerland was not immune, losing a small piece of territory.

If we don't seek peace, I'm afraid the entire Eagle Country will cease to exist!
Zhu Ming once again transformed himself into a hard-working porter, tirelessly carrying various supplies from John Bull.

Pointing at the pile of stones in front of him, he asked Zhu Di helplessly, "Marshal Zhu, do we have to move these stones back too?"

Zhu Di glanced at the pile of stones, nodded and said, "Of course we have to move them back. After all, we need stones to build roads. Such a good resource cannot be wasted!"

Zhu Ming sighed, smiled bitterly and said, "Well, it's just a matter of running one or two more times."

Just as Zhu Ming was about to continue carrying the goods, a soldier came running over to report: "Report, the John Bull delegation wants to see you!"

Zhu Ming and Zhu Di looked at each other.

"It looks like John Bull has finally come to terms with reality!"

"It looks like the "Rotary Squat Treaty" is not far away!"

Zhu Ming nodded slightly: "Hurry up and find those talents. As long as there is no treaty, we will still be in a state of war. We should move what needs to be moved. Only then can our people live a good life. As for how history will record and evaluate it, the keyboard warriors will help us in the future!"

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment: "Keyboard warrior, who is this person?"

"You are a god. In the eyes of keyboard warriors, your ability to lead troops and fight is just the beginning."

Take turns to sit in the Cabinet Office.

Queen Victoria returned to a familiar place with a delegation of more than a dozen people.

A month ago, they were holding a meeting here, vowing to defeat the dragon and force it to cede territory and pay compensation. Unexpectedly, a month later, they became the defeated country.

On the huge conference table.

Both parties sat on either side.

As the representative of the Great Dragon, Zhu Di debated with Victoria.

Zhu Ming just acted as an assistant and sat next to Zhu Di.

The person opposite came up and spoke a few words in English.

Zhu Di certainly didn't understand, and he slammed the table in anger, and uttered some classic Chinese curses: "Speak Chinese. If you can't speak it, go back and learn it. When you have learned it, come back to negotiate!"

"General, please calm down. Our queen is saying that Long and Britain have always been on good terms. It was only because of some misunderstandings that this conflict occurred, causing serious damage to the relationship between the two countries. The queen proposes that this conflict be stopped as soon as possible. John Bull can pay all travel expenses and take out one million taels of silver for you to implement." An interpreter said hurriedly.

As for Zhu Di's greeting just now, the translator didn't dare to tell Victoria, and could only pretend that Zhu Di was greeting herself.

The anger on Zhu Di's face disappeared, and he kept tapping the table with his fingers: "What conflict? War is war. This war was started by you. You said you don't want to fight, so don't fight. How can there be such a good thing in the world? One million taels of silver is not enough for the meal. What about Pu Dingcha last time? Didn't he explain it clearly to you?"

Pu Dingcha explained it clearly when he went back last time and also repeated Zhu Di's conditions.

And then he was fired!

The conditions offered by Zhu Di were really hard for John Bull to accept.

Just the compensation of 2 million taels of silver was something they could not accept.

There was also the cession of the Isle of Wight, which was even more painful to John Bull than the first.

As for the other compensations to Dalong Steel Plant, Machinery Plant, Railway, etc., which helped Dalong build an industrial system, it was relatively not so difficult to accept.

Victoria said: "John Bull can't even come up with 200 million silver dollars, at most 10 million silver dollars!"

"The silver you illegally obtained from opium is almost 200 million taels of silver. This does not include the millions of people who became addicted to drugs and became half-human and half-ghost because of opium. These losses are almost 100 million taels of silver, which you also need to pay. In addition, the military expenditure spent on this war is also very shocking. You will not pretend not to know!" Zhu Di said with a sneer.

"Impossible, John Bull doesn't have so much silver. If that's the case, John Bull will fight to the end!" Victoria said angrily.

Zhu Di smiled and said, "As a general, I like your attitude. Someone, please show me around!"

Queen Victoria must not leave like this, that would be a lonely thing. I am not the winner, I can't wait!
"Wait, General, I think we should calm down. Why don't we take a break first?"

It’s called a pause, but in fact it’s just going to a room to discuss it.

after an hour.

Negotiations continue.

This time Victoria said cheerfully: "We can accept the conditions that the general asked Pu Dingcha to convey last time."

Zhu Di had a hint of sarcasm on his face: "You are so naive! When was the last time we negotiated? It has been a whole month. At that time, we had just set foot on the land of Eagle Glen. Now we have paid a huge price to take over most of Eagle Glen. Do you think the situation is still the same as before?"

The members of John Bull's delegation were all stunned, their eyes widened and their faces filled with astonishment.

They knew very well that they had accepted the conditions they had agreed to before with tears and gritted teeth, and that when they returned home, they would definitely be scolded by the people.

If the conditions become more stringent, I really don’t know what will happen.

After a while, one of the representatives couldn't help asking, "So what do you want in exchange for your withdrawal?"

Zhu Di had already prepared a response plan. He smiled slightly and gently pushed a document in front of the other party.

It was filled with various terms and conditions.

Zhu Di smiled and said: "This is the condition we are proposing at present. If you are willing to accept it, then we can sign the peace treaty now."

"Dragon and Eagle have been friendly countries since ancient times. In order to facilitate exchanges between the two countries, Eagle must write Chinese characters and speak Chinese, and remove English within ten years!"

"Return the 4.2 million taels of silver earned from selling opium, pay 5 million taels of silver for the medical expenses of million patients suffering from diseases caused by smoking opium, and pay million taels of silver for military expenses and various losses, a total of million taels of silver, which can be paid in installments, with an interest rate of % per year!"

"Now all the places occupied by Dalong belong to Dalong!"

"John Bull needs to build factories in Dalong to help Dalong establish a complete industrial system."

"Hand over all opium traders to be dealt with by the Dragon."

"John Bull pays tribute to the dragon, and the queen must be appointed by the dragon"

There are more than a dozen agreements in total.

Looking at the documents Zhu Di took out, John Bull's delegation's blood pressure soared and they all cursed in their hearts.

"Impossible! The mighty John Bull would never agree to such a condition!"

"Anyone who dares to sign such a treaty will be beaten to death by the enraged citizens when he returns!"

"Why should we learn Chinese? Colonial officials all speak English. It should be Dalong who should learn English!"

"This list of businessmen is full of scientific researchers. It's obvious that they have other intentions!"

Zhu Di didn't expect the other party to agree to everything.

After all, negotiation is not that easy.
It's not like just meeting each other and the matter is settled; it requires both parties to push each other for some time.

During this process, the Yanhuang Army certainly would not sit idle, and Li Jing began a new round of siege and seizure operations.

Every attack put John Bull under tremendous pressure. After only ten days, John Bull lost a lot of land again.

Anti-war sentiment in the country is growing day by day. If it continues like this, the country’s destruction has almost become an inevitable outcome.

Faced with such a serious situation, John Bull's representatives finally began to waver and their attitude gradually softened.

At the same time, Dalong also made some appropriate concessions, and the conditions of both sides gradually became closer.

After a tough tug-of-war, the two sides finally reached a consensus.

Take turns squatting in the government building.

Both parties sit together.

Dalong's delegation is much larger than before.

When the two sides reached an agreement, Zhu Ming went to several other dynasties.

When the First Emperor heard this, he was very excited. He thought that at least for a period of time, the Chinese nation would not have the humiliating modern history.

"I must go and see when the treaty is signed!"

Emperor Wu of Han was delighted: "Finally, I don't have to see it anymore. Anyone who offends us will be compensated no matter how far away they are!"

Old Zhu was very excited: "We must go and take a look, we have contributed a lot to this!"

Zhu Di sat with Victoria.

The Treaty of Rotation was signed

1. Cede Ireland and recognize that Ireland is an integral part of the Great Dragon's territory;

2. Open all coastal cities as treaty ports;

2.1. Compensation of 5 million ounces of silver, to be paid in installments over five years, with an annual interest rate of %;

Fourth, open a factory in Dalong and build a complete industrial system, which Dalong will pay with national debt;
5. Build two high-quality railways free of charge, with a length of no less than 5,000 kilometers, to be completed within ten years;
6. Submit 5,000 war criminals and merchants who sold opium in Longguo, together with their families. Family members are not included in the 5,000 people;
7. For the sake of friendly relations between the two countries and to facilitate communication, Dalong helped Eagle Country to open Chinese language teaching as a second language in its own country;

8. In order to facilitate management and world communication, Eagle Country promised that the colonies must use Chinese, with a ten-year buffer period, and all other languages ​​will be eliminated within ten years;

9. After the treaty was signed, Dalong withdrew his troops and left;

10: After signing this contract, two copies shall be kept by each party.

There were other deals that were made that were not written on it.

Sign, seal and stamp.

Zhu Di and Queen Victoria shook hands right hand in a friendly manner.

"From today on, our two countries are brother countries and should help each other. I hope that the previous minor friction will not affect the friendship between our two countries!" Zhu Di said with a smile.

"I hope so. Now that the treaty has been signed and taken effect, I hope your country will abide by the treaty and withdraw its troops." Queen Victoria's face was bitter.

If I had known this earlier, I would not have become the queen and would not have signed this treaty.

Although she was somewhat unwilling, she was still glad that she became the queen. If she was replaced by someone who advocated fighting to the end, the Eagle Country would probably be gone.

Thinking of this, the queen couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Especially after seeing the intelligence about Japan, the queen felt that the treaty she signed was not unacceptable.

At least, Eagle Country is still an independent country.

It also controls a large number of colonies.

It won't take a few years to recover.

The two sides also reached an agreement to promote the world's universal currency. Although the Dragon Country occupies the largest share, the Eagle Country will definitely occupy a larger proportion than other countries.

"Queen, don't worry. With the friendly relations between our two countries, if there is unrest in your country, we, Dalong, can help and maintain your country's stability." Zhu Di said with a slight smile. (End of this chapter)
